Hi, I've had my lst2 for about a year now ran it last summer with general tuning after the break in and now i'm having a few problems with it.

first: I can get it to start and Idle but it Idles high. then when I giver her a go she bogs out and stalls. I have made the HSN leaner starting down from factory settings and almost all the way closed. I have opened up the LSN as far as possible and it I still get the bog and stall. All adjustments were made by the book.

second: I believe is a drive train issue. When Idling it has a tendency to lurch forward w/o the throttle even being opened. Also when I do get it to scoot around w/o stalling the "throttle" seems to stay open just a tad and it drives itself around w/o me pulling the trigger.

things I have noticed: I took apart the spur gears and slipped off the clutch bell which I noticed a lot of metalic build up and rub mark on the inside of the bell. One of the clutch shoe pins was out less than a mm. The drive train problem still exists.

Any help would be great!
 
THe running on after you've let off the throttle is almost certainly that its running too lean.

The alloy building up on the inside of the clutchbell is common, if its getting to be a problem you can use some light sandpaper and clean it up.

AS for the rest of it I'd suggest going back to factory settings and retune from there
 
I leaned out the low end and richened the hsn. I forgot the the screw could be backed out a little more than factory! Thanks a bunch! I was pulling wheelies and baking em on the pavement tonight!
